यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः। भुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात्॥
yajna-shishtashinah santo muchyante sarva-kilbishaih bhunjate te tv agham papa ye pachanty atma-karanat
Translation
The righteous who eat the remnants of sacrifice are freed from all sins. But the sinful who cook only for themselves eat only sin.
Commentary
When we share before we consume, the act of eating itself becomes purified. Those who live only for themselves accumulate negative karma. Generosity transforms even everyday acts into spiritual practice.
